Okay, then it seems kind of silly to tell someone else to cough up a few hundred extra bucks for a ticket. If they don't go because they can't afford/don't want to buy an overpriced ticket through the GTAA, the GTAA makes no money and there is at least one less Tech fan at the game. If they do go and are buying a ticket off the secondary market, maybe that helps lessen supply of tickets on the secondary market and so more people have to turn to the GTAA for tickets. But even if it doesn't end up helping the GTAA, at least that's another fan in attendance.
You missed the point of my statement....
Person A is paying thousands of dollars for multiple round trip airline tickets. They then pay more than a thousand for lodging, food and transportation. But then try to save money (less than $500) for the tickets for the game that is the reason for the trip.
Person B can't afford the thousands for air travel, lodging, food and transportation. Because of this they don't buy the tickets to the game, theoretically saving thousands of dollars in credit card debt.
To keep it even, let's say both give to the A-T Fund and The Tech Way based on disposable imcome. Both are season ticket holders. Both are loyal fans.
I'm just saying that if Person A says they can't afford the prices to buy game tickets from our beloved, cash strapped program, they probably can't afford the trip. Person B can't afford the trip and therefore has no reason to purchase tickets.
Spending thousands and then skimping on the tickets to save a few hundred just doesn't make sense.
